From the page: "This circuit uses the 'scratch' as a guide or a switching path for information - kind of like when trains are switched from one track to another - except this switch takes only one picosecond to change tracks. This means that in one second the switch is turning on and off about one million million times. We are talking about photonic technology that has terabit per second capacity."

Wonderful news! Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a photonic integrated circuit which can be used to route traffic along optical fiber lines around 60 times faster than slow present-day electronics. This means a global increase in connection speeds is coming.
